Day 2....Hide Yo Babies

So my boyfriend hates centaurs but I did this one anyways. It coulda been cute, it coulda been adorable...nahhhhh mine's blood thirsty. It....Uh....took longer than anticipated. I started it last night but did not like where it was going at all....so I put it off and picked it up this morning....And you know how photoshop can be a jerk some times? Photoshop froze my computer when I was just about done with the piece!!! SO close!! The blood was finished and everything!!! Arg! I tried to command save but that didn't work...so I rebooted my computer and found that I had lost about an hour and a half of work. Not cool Photoshop. Not cool.

This was the first attempt. I wanted crazy...I got ugly

This was the preliminary sketch for the second run

Finished!!!! Hide Yo Babies!!!!

Drunken Macaroni and a 30 Day Challenge

So I closed the restaurant tonight and got home around midnight 30 so I was not tired in the slightest. I spent about an hour watching My Drunk Kitchen (I love Hannah! She's so cute!) and decided that the show would be a lot funnier if the audience was also drunk while watching it...and the answer is yes. Yes it is.

So after about 3/4 of a bottle of free wine, the Adventure Time game soundtrack and a pot of drunken macaroni and cheese later I started the my 30 day monster challenge. Today is day one and it is Harpy day! So here it is! In all it's drunken constructed glory! Are you questioning the pose? Why would she extend her leg if she was flying forward at break neck speed? Because I'm drunk and I'll make my Harpy do what I want. Also, as just a side note, I'm counting this drawing as my Friday December 21st drawing....since I have yet to go to bed.

I'm also including a storyboard of something that happened to me tonight at work. I thought it was funny and merited a mention in some sort of pictorial form. hahahaha

"Amber?"

                                                                          "Hmm?"

"Have you looked in the mirror lately?"

"You've dipped you're hair in chocolate"

In conclusion, I can't finish my drunken macaroni by myself. Life lesson: Never conclude anything with the opening 'in conclusion.'

Pony T-Shirts

So today should have been a hell of a lot more productive....but it wasn't. Eric and I ended up playing Borderlands 2 all day. What I ended up finishing was the gifts for my lil brother. He is a brony and I guess his fav is Twilight Sparkle and originally I was going to screen print his favorite pony onto a shirt but my friend Nelson has been too busy to set up his screen print machine. Oh well. I thought the shirts still turned out pretty cool. I hope Daniel likes then. This one I'm posting is of Twilight Sparkle reading a book. The other one I made was of Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark on the back of the another t-shirt....So that way when you wear it, it's like you yourself are Twilight Sparkle. Lol Well I thought it was a good idea.

I think this is just too cute!

Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld

I got the new issue of Swords and Sorcery today so I couldn't help put do an Amethyst piece. I wanted to show her freaking out over the new powers that she got. Ha. I like the way this one turned out. Very silly. I like that my pen work scanned in well so I didn't have to do the line work in photoshop. I suck at lines in photoshop. -3- bleh. The background took me a while to come up with. Backgrounds are always really hard for me.... Either I draw a character or I draw a location...for some reason I have a hard time combing the two!

The Wonder Corset

I recently read a web comic post that included wonder woman. It may have been "Hark a Vagrant" but I'm not sure. Anyways, the way wonder woman was depicted was angry and awesome. At one point, a villain runs away and a bystander asks wonder woman why she wont chase him down. Here response was asking the bystander if she had ever tried to run in a bikini top and high heels! Ha! I always forget that her outfit is not very functional! Imagine having to readjust your corset every time you ran a few feet. You wouldn't be able to get anything done!

This was shitty dried up prismacolors....they are getting pretty old.

Also, I'm horrible at lighting pictures....I need more practice. Consider this practice! I really do need to find a more convenient means of applying color to doodles.

Spinach

Today I was so lazy that I wouldn't feed myself. When I finally got around to eating, it ended up being spinach.....because that was the easiest thing to throw on the plate. Hahaha ohhhhh spinach.....you think you're food.....but your not.

Winter Break

It's here already! Winter break! A time for relaxation and....uh...uhm....I dunno....catching up on personal projects? I plan to get so much work done that it's gonna be like I'm still going to school. Like today for instance I sat in on a final for a professor (Arthur Scott King) I had a few years back and I spent my time sketching the students and trying to figure out their attitudes! Maybe I'll get around to posting those....just not tonight. He also made me do part of his final! arg! I'm not in your class!!! Unless your class is life!! Then maybe I am in your class! The results of the final show that I should do a thorough reading of the animators survival guide. Oh the shame!

So Wednesday was comic book Wednesday (imma call it cbw for short now) and I went all out! I bought Marceline and the Scream Queens issues 3-6 (issue 1 and 2 are out of stock! thank goodness for amazon!!!) as well as the adventure time cover art book! I can say with confidence that I got my weeks fill of Penn Ward style characters. I can't wait for the first issue of Fiona and Cake!!!

This is how I feel about break so far

Oh, and this happened while I was drawing.....I figure if I were to animate this, lil dude would slide slowly upward...stare...I'd turn and stare back....and then he would slide slowly back down. Haha he does this!!!! He so does this!
